The latest issue of the KIT Newsletter has just been published and is available at https://kit.hdfs.ntnu.edu.tw/CN/News_content.aspx?ns=225. In this edition, we feature a guide to “Che cos’è un bambino?”, a beautifully written and illustrated storybook by Beatrice Alemagna. This poetic reflection on childhood celebrates its uniqueness, curiosity, and emotions. Through evocative words and illustrations, it highlights how every child is both unique and connected. The book encourages readers to recognize individuality, embrace differences, and see the world with wonder and sensitivity. Listen to the story here: https://youtu.be/2CRwCWIo0Ws.

Moreover, this issue provides a brief overview of the Children of the 2020s Study, which tracks nearly 8,500 children born in England between September and November 2021. The study aims to understand what early childhood looks like for children growing up in England today. Other highlights include a summary of key KIT findings on how children’s extended discourse develops from ages 3 to 5, as well as a feature on the field interviewers involved in the KIT project.
